Frigade

Frigade is a verifiable Y Combinator-backed (Winter 2023) startup offering a developer-first platform for product onboarding (React SDKs, API). While the external reality of the project is strong—solving a clear B2B pain point with backing from General Catalyst and growing traction among engineering teams (e.g., Orb, Merge)—the submission itself was of extremely low quality. The submitter provided inaccurate data (claiming 'consumer-goods' and 'leadership' technologies), false reach claims ('everyone'), and hyperbolic traction statements ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high utility and verifiable potential of the actual business, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the submission.
